Netanyahu says Israel hit Iran and its terror axis with ’10 plagues,’ lays out achievements, as US pursues talks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Iran’s “trillion dollar” investment in ballistic missiles, nuclear enrichment, and in supporting armed proxies “has gone down the drain.”

In a video statement, he says that Israel has hit Iran and its axis with “ten plagues,” a reference to the upcoming holiday of Passover, which begins tomorrow evening.

He lists the blows Israel has delivered to terror groups Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and others in the West Bank, as well as to the ousted Assad regime in Syria. He also lists five “plagues” delivered to Iran — hitting its nuclear program, ballistic missiles, regime infrastructure, internal security forces, and its senior leaders.

He says that war is not over, but lays out achievements that Israel has accomplished — a possible effort to prepare his messaging campaign if US President Donald Trump decides to end the war soon.

Netanyahu says that there has been “a strategic turnaround” against Iran — saying that it wanted to strangle Israel, but now Israel is strangling it. The regime, he says, is weaker than ever, and Israel is stronger than ever.

He hints that US President Joe Biden did not internalize the Iranian danger, saying that he had warned “presidents in the US.”
